Literatus91 | Aug 7, 2009 |  This book offers a fabulous compilation of tales of the Cthulu mythos by Lovecraft and others (including Robert Bloch, August Derleth and Stephen King). The stories are eerie and build to a satisfying level of terror. Somehow after reading Lovecraftian stories, I end up with very bizarre frightening dreams. And, to me, that's what makes a great horror story. (  ) drlake66 | Nov 7, 2008 | Only two of the stories in this collection are by Lovecraft: "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Haunter of the Dark". Other authors making additions to the mythos include Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, Robert Bloch, Henry Kuttner, Fritz Leiber, Brian Lumley, Philip Jose Farmer, and many others! If you are like me, you just pooped a little. There is so much awesomeness here it blows one away. I'll mention a couple of my favorites: Frank Belknap Long's "The Space-Eaters" (beware of squishy things dropping on you while in the woods), and Fritz Leiber's "The Terror from the Depths". Needless to say should you be in the woods and come upon an abandoned town with an empty and ruined church which behind it's pulpit has a grand golden crucifix turned up-side-down, do not go read the book on the pulpit entitled "De Vermis Mysteriis"! ( ) endersreads | Apr 24, 2008 | Classic Mythos stories, mostly by authors other than Lovecraft, ranging from contemporaries such as Clark Ashton Smith and Frank Belknap Long to modern writers including Ramsey Campbell, Stephen King, and Joanna Russ.

My personal favourites are the two Lovecraft stories already mentioned, along with 'Jeruslalem's Lot' by Steohen King and 'Sticks' by Karl Edward Wagner. (
